SOUTH AFRICA - Cape Town - 03 June 2020 - Coronavirus Lockdown - The original Spotty Dog stood proud at its home on the Main Road of Retreat in Cape Town. He was, according to an advert released by his then-owners, South Africa’s first canine-shaped roadhouse when he was assembled in 1938. He was designed for a Mrs Barnes with the official designated usage of a “hot dog saloon,” but over the years his duties morphed and at one point he was even used as a vendor of fruit and vegetables. Today, a smaller version of the Spotty Dog stands in the same but vastly altered location outside Bu Co in Retreat. Recently, the famous dog was spotted wearing a large fabric mask which reads, "Mask On". Picture: Tracey Adams/African News Agency(ANA)
